Just did a lovely holistic reflection and now it’s time to set my intentions. I was thinking about the larger picture of Stability Sammy. I have come so so so far. From June 2025 being on sick leave and enrolled in a mental health outpatient program at Kaiser, then resigning from my job and living on my savings for 3 months. Grandma Myra breaking her hip and flying to the UK for a month to take care of her with a day’s notice, breaking up with the guy I was seeing. The anxiety of how the Writers Festival would go! And it’s success!! 200 people an article in the Daily Trojan!! Dog-sitting and the anxiety of freelance!
Then my first substitute job and it’s success!! Invited to perform at the Long Beach Poetry Festival, setting up the weekly Shut Up and Write in Los Feliz! The amazingness of PorchFest! Making new friends and coffees from the festival buzz. The job at Skylight Books!! The success of the Burns Night and being interviewed in the LAist!! The peace and joy of the Yoga Vibes community and Los Feliz!
Things going well at SCTE and CSUN Writing Project!
Now getting settled at this new job and working through my PTSD!
I have a job until June at the high school, that may turn into a full-time ELA teaching position where I can live my dream and run the nonprofit and set up all the things.
My housing is going well! I feel stabilized in the apartment. Wyatt and I talked about a two-bed, two-bathroom – but we’d stay in Los Feliz. It feels good to know that.
I having been focusing a lot on purpose and contribution! Most of my energies to that. And then lifestyle and health. I do feel like I want to spend more time stabilizing my relationships. Although I realized the relationships I spend the most time in need to be in alignment and supporting my purpose and contribution and my lifestyle and health.
I am thinking this month to prioritize purpose and contribution and health and lifestyle. In March I will move onto health and lifestyle and family and friends.
I am so so grateful that things are improving, that I am stabilizing!! So grateful for the support and grace as I navigate through and regain my strength. It is beautiful what is happening.
